The barbeque brisket plate with kielbasa, cornbread, green beans that I ordered was delicious. The other plate ordered was pulled pork, mac & cheese, hush puppies, and baked beans, and it was good, too. Portions were generous and served up by friendly, welcoming folks. There is a huge selection of bottled and canned drinks as you walk in the door and make your way to the butcher's counter and/or to the deli sandwich corner and the hot line. Self serve iced tea and soft drinks are available, too. Desserts are available--but we were too full from our lunch to try any of them. We are glad we found this gem!

Driving along I-40 in West Tennessee, you might notice those signs for Exit 87 BBQ as you're…read moredriving past ... what else but exit 87. You've just entered the western city limits of Jackson on I-40. And you might think a barbecue food truck adjacent to an interstate popular for truckers couldn't be that good. But the truck drivers know what they're doing. And so do locals and other motorists who decide that exiting I-40 for barbecue is worth it. Because it is! Exit 87 BBQ is indeed smoking legit barbecue overlooking I-40 as numerous people drive by. And they have a whole bevy of smokers to prove it. The brisket is tender and flavorful with crispy edges. The pulled pork is just as good, maybe even better. You can choose between spicy and regular barbecue sauce. And refrigerated units are filled with numerous drink options and various cheesecakes. This roadside stop really surprised me and I would definitely go again!

Two of my girls had loaded fries which were cold, my other daughter had Mac and cheese and onion rings- the Mac and cheese tasted warmed over and peppered, the onion rings were fried so hard there was no more onion. I had the bbq sandwich filled with a lot of burnt ends and the creamy slaw was purple, the beans were cold and potato salad was subpar, i thought it was the pickles that made it sour but after throwing it back up im guessing it was bad. Did I mention the sauce- no, it's nothing to rave over. We were there at 5:30 on a Saturday night and no one was there, no music, no vibe- we actually asked if they could play some music because it was lame. The waitress actually told us the food is left over and warmed up because they are closed on Sundays and Friday night is usually busy because of the band. She encouraged us to come back on Monday or Tuesday when everything would be fresh but I think not.

The nice young lady at the corner was very patient with me, answering questions. The baked beans were out but miraculously a new batch appeared right as I ordered. Fritos pie: Had to grab this local staple. The pulled pork is so tender and you get so much for your money. I ordered my pie hot. That nice young lady asked if I wanted sauce for my pulled chicken and brought both hot and a special extra hot. Guess what went on everything! (I didn't ask if you can order it made with extra hot or you have to add your own. Still worth it.) Pulled chicken: Again, so tender. So flavorful. Atmosphere: Local joint, no frills, country music playing. Family owned. The only downside is they're not located closer to my home. Verdict: I had written best in the county, but this is taking over as top 3 I've ever had. I dare anyone else in Tennessee to top Southern Smoke.

Customer service was over the top. All the associates were so friendly and helped us with many questions about the area. It was a quaint little dining room and it was very clean. We asked what was a good meal for our first visit and they suggested chicken and turkey. I got the combo platter with those two selections and mac & cheese and baked beans. It was all so delicious and very nice portions. We left full and satisfied that we had stopped to give them a try. When you through Lexington, look them up and give them a try yourself. You will be glad you did. High recommended.

Excellent place and great service…read more We needed BBQ on the way to Memphis and this place showed up on Yelp as highly rated. We thought it was a brick and mortar place and were somewhat hesitant when we saw it was a food truck as these are hit or miss. This was a hit. We met the kindest young lady behind the counter who sorta looked like Brittany Spears/Tori Spellman and she was very patient and helpful with us. Even a customer in line gave us ordering suggestions. The employee also informed us of the air conditioned shipping container in the lot that had indoor seating. We chose that as we didn't want to eat in the car and it was air conditioned. Inside it was quite nice for a shipping container. It was wood lined and lots of seating and even a bathroom! For lunch we finally decided on a chopped brisket sandwich and a smoked bologna sandwich which came with sides. I had read about these smoked bologna sandwiches and people said to give them a shot. I did and am still not impressed although they are a damn sight better than the Oscar Mayer ones I grew up with (yuck!). There was nothing wrong with it, I just would rather have brisket, pork or ribs instead. The sides were very good as well. I loved the BBQ baked beans and the vinegar slaw. I also had the tater salad. After eating we ended up buying a bottle of their BBQ sauce to take home for later. During our meal, the owner, Mitch, stopped in the shipping container area and was kind and charming. He told us about the business and about the hickory wood he uses for smoking and it's benefits. We also discussed the shipping container buildup and how great it looked. We encouraged Mitch to expand if possible as his food and ambiance was top notch. I was really impressed by Hunt's Tennessee BBQ. I would definitely return here again and try the other items as well.
